A humble suggestion (telegrams)

[Kandarin]

I know that the telegram overhaul will resolve a lot of ongoing telegramming issues, but it's a long time coming. In the meantime, could you cut the spam lag time? I know it's there to keep bots at bay, but fifteen seconds won't stop them any more than, say, ten, and all of us who need to telegram lots of people for various reasons will thank you.

[Paradoxany]

AGREEED!

[Sionis Prioratus]

Seconded.

[Unibot]

Eh, Use the fifteen second wait-time to personalize the telegram, it increases the efficency of the telegram anyway.

Okay, you now get a discount of 1 second off the delay for every 100 days your nation has been alive, to a minimum of 5 seconds.

Lmao, we shall now be able telegram the masses with that.

[Arumdaum]

Really?

Really? That struck me as sarcastic for some reason...

Better than nothing I suppose. Though it sucks this happened a week AFTER I started with a new nation.

I do that; it's still a crapshoot whether you get a wall of red text or not.

Aww. I thought you were serious! I got a stop watch out and everything... Still 15 seconds.

[Pythagosaurus]

She was serious. She just forgot to, you know, actually change the 15. Should be fixed now.

[Todd McCloud]

She was serious. She just forgot to, you know, actually change the 15. Should be fixed now.

Woooo! One step closer to mass-telegrams!

[Glen-Rhodes]

She was serious. She just forgot to, you know, actually change the 15. Should be fixed now.

Hm. Interesting. So, at 584 days, I would have to wait only 10 seconds.

By "to a minimum of 5 seconds", does [violet] mean that, no matter what, you have to wait at least 5 seconds?

[Pythagosaurus]

Yes.

[Topid]

Hoooray! 3 seconds saved is 3 seconds earned.

(I h8 bein noob.)

I'll be holding services at this shrine daily.

On behalf of everyone who ever endoswapped, sent out regional bulletins, recruited, campaigned for a proposal, sent out telegrams for their Delegate, sent out telegrams against their Delegate, or lobbied for/against a resolution: Thank you!

This is the greatest thing since internet!

You've made my day.

No more 15 second waits.

[Walrus eggmen]

Sweet.

Haha, whoops.

I see bad things happening in a few years.

Eh, nothing that isn't happening now. Unless you're saying that the latest crop of players are more immature than the current ones were when they were new - which is a claim that would require some serious evidence. The update did apply retroactively to all existing older nations, e.g. I now have a 5-second timer.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

May I give a feedback that this is a sensible compromise. I have observed that spam-bots do tend to send out messages as fast as possible regardless of the age of the bot, so, Well done.

[Sionis Prioratus]

Thank you, indeed, Admins!! 3 seconds multiplied by 300 Delegates is fifteen minutes saved (not to mention the time to come back and re-do after the dahm red warning )

[Topid]

Too bad there is no way to figure in warnings. Like if warned for spam timer + 30 sec. :-)
